Of Angels And Demons
Summary: Kagome Higurashi. No longer human yet not a Demon or an Angel, she was something in between and now she's the one thing that can tie all three realms together... if only she can survive her first year at RAD.
Pairing: Kagome/Diavolo, Lucifer/Kagome/Diavolo, Kagome/Harem
Power.
Old raw and so very tremendous echoed through devildom like a heart beat.
It's pulsing picking up as if awakening from a slumber.
Golden eyes shot open at the very first pulse of it, a frown marring normally smiling lips. It was a power he hadn't felt in centuries but one he knew all too well.
"My lord it would seem your father stirs." He didn't even flinch at the ever familiar voice, instead he busied himself with getting out of bed and dressing quickly, demon form on full display, "Indeed, send for Lucifer, have him meet me in my fathers chambers."
His thick brows were creased as he tried to figure out what would cause his father to stir, he had been asleep for almost a millennia now, and was not prophesied to awaken until he himself was ready to take on the title of demon king.
A feat he knew he was still far too young and inexperienced to do so, hell he had barely gotten his RAD program up and running...so there was no way his father would be ready to hand over the title so soon. No, something else was stirring and he was loath to figure it out but he had no choice. As acting lord he had a responsibility to do so.
Knowing his father it was just another test.
Even so as he ventured deeper into the depths of the Devildom's royal castle he could only steel his gaze and his will. Whatever his father had planned for him it would no doubt cause him many sleepless nights and be the root of many a headache.
Entering the pitch black room he could barely repress the shiver as his fathers power washed over him, still as intimidating as it had ever been. Orange-ish gold eyes cracked open in the abyss that was the cold damp room, slit pupils zeroed in on him, a rush of power filling the room as the many candles that littered it burst to life.
"Ah, my son. Look at how you have grown..." His voice was a low growl, gravely from years of non-use. His lips pulled into a smirk of a smile, more fangs than lips as he lounged in the large bed. His power pulsing as he pushed it out, uncoiling it like stiff muscles needing to stretch to wake up.
His son tensed, his head bowed slightly yet his own golden eyes meeting his own. It made him proud, when he had been younger he had never met his gaze, it made fatherly pride bloom in his chest. A few steps behind him stood his faithful butler, a powerful demon in his own right, and a demon he hadn't seen since his fall from grace. Tossing the pale red eye male a small nod of acknowledgment he turned his full attention back to his son, a sense of warped glee radiating from him. While he had been asleep he not been oblivious to his sons antics, trying to build a bridge between the three worlds, and he mused as his father he should try to help his boy.
"Father, why have you woken? Surely I'm not ready to take over." It wasn't him fishing for praise or acknowledgement from his father but pure simple fact. He knew it, his father knew, everyone in the room knew it.
Dio could only give a bark of laughter, his eyes glittering like the burning pits of hell. "Of course not my boy, you're still a thousand years to early to take the title, I merely wish to help you with your little...project..." He paused, letting the others in the room come to their own conclusions as to whether or not he approved of his son's actions and ideals.
He could really care less what they thought, just that things were about to get that much more interesting and entertaining for him as he waited for his son to mature and come into his own right so he could finally be free from the title of king. "As you know I've been keeping an eye on you even while in my slumbering state and I merely wish to...help."
Diavolo could only grit his teeth, his father wished to help... it could either be a very good thing or a very bad thing. There was no real in between with his father. That wasn't to say he disliked his father just that he lived up to the name of the king of demons. Yes, he did what he was best for the kingdom but he also did what was best for himself and his own amusement.
"I see, and how is it you wish to help?" He regretted the words as soon as they left his lips, his own fathers curling back into that smile that was more fangs then anything.
"I have a suggestion for one of the students for your little program." He waved his hands, wiling magic to conjure a piece of parchment, flicking his wrist so it flew towards his son's right hand man. "She will be a welcome edition."
Diavolo could only blink, 'she', already the gears in his mind were turning. He had not known his father to keep company with many females, minus a few favored succubi and human witches, most of which had to be long dead by now, let alone anyone young enough to be enrolled at RAD. If it was another demon female he didn't see how it would help his cause...
As if reading his thoughts, and honestly as a child he had a suspicions his father could really do that, he let out a small chuckle. "She is a human female whom I think will fit in just perfectly, besides I think it's high time for you to meet your fiance." His father let out a loud bark of laughter as his clam facade finally cracked and he displayed his confusion.
Fiance?!
He quickly turned to look at Lucifer, said man was running his eyes over the paper, his face grim. Yet his voice was even and cool as he spoke not at all betraying his confusion and frustration churning inside of him. "Seems she is a human female by the name of Kagome Higurashi...and was chosen by my father in some sort of pact made Dio-sama almost a millennia ago..."
Lucifer could only blink, trying to recall the name and why it sounded so very familiar yet foreign at the same time. If she was fully human how in the hell had his father and Diavolo's made such an agreement? Was it some old prophecy from before the celestial war? He would have to consult with Satan much to his annoyance.
His younger brother would not doubt eat it up that there was something that he didn't know...
Dio could practically taste the confusion and annoyance from the fallen angel and it made him preen. It wasn't that he disliked the boy, he just disliked all those of celestial origins, it was literally in his blood. Even though the boy and his brothers had been living as demons for thousands of years they were still very young and wet behind the ears compared to himself.
Shoving his thoughts down he merely gave his shell shocked son a once over, it was clear to him this development had thrown him for a loop and he felt a smidgen of guilt yet he knew it was a necessity if the boy truly wanted to unite the three realms. It was one of the few things he and that pious self righteous God could agree on and at least they would be able to leave all the heavy lifting to their kids and get to sit back and enjoy the show.
Words spoken, and bomb dropped, he mused it was time for him to get back to sleep, already his eyes were drooping as sleep called him like a siren's song, yet before he gave in he leveled his son with a warning glare.
"I will be keeping an eye on the unfolding events, not only does your little project hinge on the outcome of this but so does your title and the future of all three realms." Threat made he, let his eyes slide shut taking with it the fire that lit the room up, leaving them all in the darkness once more.
Diavolo grit his teeth as he stalked through the halls of the upper castle, Barbatos and Lucifer taking longer strides than normal to keep up with him. He shoved the doors to his office open, wincing a bit as they groaned under the force and cracked into the walls. Sitting down heavily in his plush leather chair he let his eyes slide closed and let out a deep rattling sigh through his nose.
This was a side to him very few ever got to see and the two males in the room with him were so very privileged to be part of that ever prestigious club.
Fiance.
Fiance!
He had a human fiance!
Chosen by Lucifer's own father! Was this some sort of cruel test? Knowing his father and what little he did about Lucifer's own father, from his very own mouth, he could only assume that yes, it was.
Barbatos was at his side in an instant, a cup of his favorite tea in his hands. "Here my lord." He merely grunted as the fine china was placed on the table, lifting his gaze to meet Lucifer's. The other male sat across from him, his own face grim as his red orbs seemed to shift with his racing thoughts.
"You had no prior knowledge of this?" There were no accusations, just pure curiosity.
Lucifer shook his head, "No, most of my memories from before the celestial war are muddled and even if they weren't I doubt my father would have spoken of such a thing with me or any of my brothers. That's something he more than likely would have kept to himself and maybe Michael, ever the suck up he was."
Diavolo cracked a small smirk at the slight against Michael, made more out of habit then malice. "I see, well see what you can find about this agreement. Barbatos, I trust you will look into my fiance? I wouldn't want to drag just anyone down here...it was hard enough to get approval for Solomon..." He grumbled the last part, it had been like pulling teeth to get the sorcerer approved by not only the celestial realm but his fellow lords and ladies of the court.
Sure everyone knew his word was law yet they still had to do the song and dance of a democracy, no matter how annoying it was most of the time.
"Of course sir...would you like me to glimpse into the future?" The air around them grew tense at that, Barbatos had vowed to never meddle with the future again...but this was a very complicated if not unexpected thing that had been hurled at them.
Weighing the options in his head he finally shook it in a negative way. "No, for now we will do things the old fashioned way, if things look to be spiraling then maybe we will revisit this conversation. For now find me everything there is to know about this Kagome Higurashi."
AN: This chapter and maybe two more will set up the how and why Kagome is in Devildom. Then after that will probably some interconnected and non interconnected drabbles/oneshots with various parings and themes. Much like how there's the main story line in the game and the events and devilgrams in game.
